Per Diem Changes

In April, the per diem rate tables were removed from the Federal Travel Regulation. Now, the General Services Administration will publish rates periodically and post them on its Web site at www.gsa.gov/perdiem. In May and June, the rates changed for certain cities in California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
